R62 Planning Commission appointment by Board of County Commissioners

34:29Before you adjourn, David has asked me to talk to you about the appointment by the Board of County Commissioners of the Planning Commission. So that appointment is happening on January twenty-fifth. It's at ten ten in the morning, it's so it's a morning session. It's item R62, it's a regular item. So what will happen is that the Board of County Commissioners will each individually appoint a Planning Commission member. And then there will be a collective appointment of an at-large member. So

34:59the way that the ordinance was written is that that actual appointment does not take effect until the second planning commission in February, and that would be February 17th, 2022, 1:30 in Newport Ritchie. So that means that this Planning Commission, as it is today, will still have a meeting next month, and that's February 3rd, 2022, at 1:30. Yeah.

35:24Okay.

35:25Anything else you wanted me to add, David?

35:27So just as a reminder, I believe the ordinance was written so that while each board member will appoint a member. they don't necessarily have to be from reside in that District of that. Commissioner Yeager. Um so it is possible that y they could reappoint exactly who's on the planning commission today. I don't know whether that will happen or not, but I guess my other question for you is There was no application window like that.

35:56That's correct. There's no application window.

35:59Presumably if the board's gonna appoint somebody other than who's here today, they would be doing it just by because they know somebody, is

36:06that's the way it would be, yes.

36:09There was no

36:10solicitation for other member.

36:11Correct. Yes.

36:13Okay. I guess the only other comment I'd make is it's there would be nothing to prevent you from Contacting your district commissioner if you wanted to. I mean, that it's not a sunshine law violation if you wanted to. So for those of you that may still have an interest in being on the Planning Commission, you may want to contact your district commissioner. Or any commissioner really you could contact if you want. Um it's really up to you all. If you want to do that. You may not get

36:43rid of us, David. That's Yeah, the only other comment I would make is if If you've got to be a little bit more If the Planning Commission stays the way it is, there's probably no reason to do this, but if it gets If there's a bunch of new members, you all may want to reconsider whether you need to elect a new chair and vice chair. The rules don't necessarily require it, but if it's a whole new group you're probably gonna need wanna revisit that issue too. But let's see what happens with the appointments.

37:09Yeah, and and of course as you may recall when this came to you when you were sitting as a local planning agency the what the commissioner that appoints the planning commission member individually will serve a concurrent term with that commissioner and then the at large will be a four year term. So but I'm sure you probably remember that from that time.

37:29I don't remember anything.

37:30Don't remember anything.

37:33Okay.

37:33So that's what I wanted to say and uh you know I will certainly be lighting a candle so that everybody comes stays back on the Planning Commission.

37:43Thank you. Thank you very much.

37:45Yep, thank you so much.

37:47And we're gonna We're gonna politic and get Dave reappointed too, so I prefer not to vote, thank you.
